Undergraduate Tuition Fees

Find out how much you need to repay and visit Student Finance England

You will pay 9% of your income above £27,295. The amount you repay depends on how much you earn.

If you choose to leave your degree early you could still be liable for course costs.

You should expect to pay tuition fees for every year in attendance and be aware these fees may increase annually. On the basis of current government guidance any increase is unlikely to exceed the increase in inflation by reference to the Retail Price Index (RPI).

If your income falls below £27,295, your repayments stop until you start earning over £27,295 once again.

You pay interest from the time your first payment is made until you pay your loan back in full.

Access and participation plans set out how higher education providers will improve equal opportunities for underrepresented groups. Universities and colleges set their own targets working towards the Office for Students national targets and addressing areas where there are specific gaps in equality of opportunity.

They include:

• the provider’s ambition for change

• what it plans to do to achieve that change

• the targets it has set

• the investment it will make to deliver the plan.

Tuition fees vary depending on the course and mode of study. In November 2024, the government removed the freeze on tuition fees and loans for the 2025/26 academic year. 

If you are a student studying at Carlisle College for the first time in 2025, the tuition fee for your course is indicated at the top of this page.

If you are a continuing student, you will continue to pay the same amount you currently pay throughout your course. For example, if you are in your first year of a three year degree, you will pay the same amount for the next 2 years.
